DOUBLE DITTO..I had to start over and I bought my first few Yorkies from show breeders!!!
IMO, it is easier today to get a good foundation bitch or show potential...more people are showing, more are breeding and placing decent stock to trusted fanicers.
When I started Yorkies were way down on the AKC populatity poll...so that meant fewer good breeders to buy from, most kept it all and I got border line stuff...
Example...I was talking to two show breeders recently...both had good bitch puppies to sell..one had 5 show potential males... |
